[Issue] Strange No call "Answer" button only "End Call"

[mobileusman]

Screen shot of what I mean

So basically when I got the phone after a few days it started happening... out of the box, no rooting/play around sense 3 all intact.

Randomly, it just lets me accept some calls and for other I only have one option "end call" (or just let it ring). There is no hardware button on sensation obv.

then I reset the phone to factory from the boot loader. and the problem came back after a while.

I reset again, used temp root now, I'm using "go launcher" i don't have lots of apps, i run it light so save on ram and battery (hence "go launcher" and no "sense 3.0") and the problem is back. So we know its not Sense. It must be gingerbread.

Ive tired fast boot and everything.

one thing ive installed consistently through every scenario is "google voice", i really love it. I will try uninstalling it if anyone thinks its plausible. I think its just gingerbread messin around. I googled the issue and this is all i could find..

sounds like the guy has the same issue but I cant find a correlation.

I had the same thing happen today - I couldnt answer the call for the life of me - Glad its not just me - But its BAD - My Dads in the Hospital and I dont want to miss a call...

Do you use the ear piece that came with it? and did it happen when u were using it? also if it happens are u able to accepts call with it?

It happened to me with no ear piece in - Brother called my phone and I had no way to answer it - I was pressing everywhere - Nothing but end call was an option.
(And before someone thinks it, it was not answered, phone was ringing... and ringing...)

Yea, same problem as mine, so this confirms it. One more question, do u have any phone/text/caller id applications installed?

Mr. Number has this issue Im told, but ive never used it.
I do have "Google Voice" but i dont think thats it. Im just trying to find a correlation, something must have happened to both our phones to act this way.

I have the same issue.
Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't it's wierd.
I really hate having to decline a call on someone because the call answer software fails... it makes my phone look like a piece of crap.

When you guys see that screen, can you hit the speakerphone button? It is odd, I never had that problem with mine.

This happens to me sometimes too. No idea why.

My wife just asked me the same thing today - so both our phones have had this - I called her and she couldnt answer so she called me back and said "I Had no answer option, just end call"

So it appears to be an issue around - and shes as close to stock as you can be - never temp rooted.

Ok just got a replacement phone in the mail.
For (call answering problem and dust under screen).
booted up, Factory reset just to make sure I was starting from scratch
and bam! got the call answering problem on the first call....
WTF!!!!

Update!!
Factory reset from Hboot and everything seems to be fine now..
I really think its an app thats doing this...

I have this problem almost all the time. Some times a reboot will help.

Has anyone found out the cause of this problem?
